Subject: [NCCC] RTTY NCCC Sprints on Thursday (in NA)
To: nccc@contesting.com
With NA Sprint RTTY approaching on March 9, let's get ready for that
with two events on the next two Thursdays, one hour before the CW NS:
0130 to 0200Z, MARCH 1 and 8; Thursday nights in NA.
Here's a chance for experienced sprinters on cw to learn a new mode,
and for RTTY contesters to learn the sprint format. Also a chance
to try out the newly popular 2Tone decoder.
There are two main differences between the NCCC Sprints and NA Sprint:
In NS, power is limited to 100w, and mults count on all bands.
For these upcoming practices, use 80, 40, 20m; up 80+ Khz. from the bottom
of the band.
You need two different messages in sprint, one when acquiring a frequency,
N6TR 245 KEN CA N6RO;
in a different order when vacating, N8EA N6RO 246 KEN CA.
NS rules at:
http://www.ncccsprint.com/**rules.html<http://www.ncccsprint.com/rules.html>
These apply for the RTTY practice sprints.
I expect there will be a practice on Friday night before NA Sprint RTTY,
using the real Sprint rules.
But don't wait till the last minute to get your station/computer/messages
set up.
Thursday Night Diddler, N6RO
